Editorial Reviews

Amp is, of course, the late night MTV program that's helped turn America onto "that electronica stuff," and this is the sequel to 1997's commercially successful Amp collection. Amp 2 gets things started off right with a house-rockin' unreleased track from Fatboy Slim, but can't sustain such sheer energy throughout, courtesy of flaccid beats from the likes of Prodigy and Adam F. Nevertheless, Amp 2 spins an educational emphasis, stressing the link between new and old schools, with varied collaborations between hip-hoppers and electronic artists. The most successful tracks go back to the funk from which both musics borrow--particularly Pigeonhead with Lo-Fidelity All-Stars, a Jungle Brothers remix, and Roni Size/Reprazent's "Brown Paper Bag," which sees the future in the past all by itself. --Mike McGonigal

[N]early every cut here has some rapper or rude rock boy pumpin' up the adrenaline. With surf guitar, chemical beats, and an incessant sample of obscure MC Lord Finesse changing "Right about now/ The funk soul brother," Fatboy Slim's "The Rockafeller Shank" represents the new brainmeltin', body– poppin' party grove.
